100 years ago today a Tennessee grand jury indicted science teacher John Scopes for violating the state’s law making it a crime “to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.”

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him?

Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens.

This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬

Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.

Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov
Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"

This is our moment. This is our time.

We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Senator Murray is rightfully bringing the heat. It’s long past the time for republicans to find their courage and stand up to Trump.
Just a reminder: Congress could reverse these insane tariffs TODAY.

Republicans are just choosing not to.

Every Republican in Congress who refuses to do something is endorsing Trump's tax hike on YOU.

Vaccines do not cause autism:
As detailed in my book (written from my year-long discussions with RFK Jr in 2017), 2 converging threads show vaccines don’t cause autism: 1) Direct epidemiological/lab investigations, and 2) lack of plausibility given how autism genes operate in early fetal brain development

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Here is a list of town halls taking place next week that you should show up at. I am sorry, I mean Chuck Schumer’s book parties. If there are any missing, please add in the replies. The only thing he should be doing today is cleaning out his office.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Don’t forget: It’s a convicted felon and litigated sexual assaulter whose company was found guilty of fraud and who was first elected to the White House with covert Moscow assistance who’s trying to destroy much of the federal government and impose authoritarian rule.

No one has ever done this—TWICE—by accident. On camera. Before an international audience.

Again, I've lived a long time. I have never done a Nazi salute. My parents, uncles, in-laws, etc would have gone berserk.

I've seen this explained away as "autism." If so, keep him miles away from govt.
